The Design of adapted Feed-in tariffs for Developing Countries” at the World Forum on Energy Regulation, in Quebec the 16thMay 2012. This is the report.

A priority area for REEEP is the promotion of policies and regulatory mechanisms that support renewable energy and energy efficiency (sustainable energy). REEEP has produced via its Sustainable Energy Regulation Network – SERN this update of a review conducted by SERN of the existing literature on regulation and sustainable energy. It is a selection of 100 documents that gives a good grasp of current debates and outcomes resulting from academic research and consultancy work on this issue.

Before making investment decisions, clean energy businesses and other stakeholders need to understand the political and regulatory environs within which they will need to operate. REEEP offers a comprehensive policy and regulatory overview covering 190 countries.
